Nivloc, NV: Abandoned Ore Cart Trestle

(Satellite)

Not only is the mine abandoned, so is the town.

Josh Schmid posted nine photos with the comment: "On Monday the 16th, I paid a visit to the famous trestle in the ghost town of Nivloc, Nevada. Nivloc is an old Central Nevada mining town at the end of a rough dirt road, but the reward is the last wooden trestle in Nevada, which once carried ore carts across a ravine. Photos mine."

"Gold discoveries in 1907 led to the creation of this one saloon camp named Nivloc.  This small mining camp was active throughout the 1930s & 1940s.  This recent activity explains the presence of electric motors instead of steam engines."
